Alexander Polyakov (musician)
Alexander Polyakov was one of the first producers of dance electronic music in Russia.
Alexander's career in the music business started in 1993 when, living in the trading and industrial centre of South Russia, Rostov-on-Don, he began experimenting with electronic sounds.
His first considerable success came in 1998 when being a member of the electronic band PPK Alexander produced all the tracks for the band. In 2001, PPK released their Resurrection track on No1 DJ's label, Perfecto, hosted by Paul Oakenfold and became the first Russian electronic band with a No3 position in the UK top chart.
After PPK broke-up, Alexander devoted himself to support the dance music scene evolution in Russia. He's permanently in search of rising MusicAL talents. The names of Liquinoid, Melodica, Marek, Vadim Zhukov, Sound Fitcion, Alex Monakhov, Anton Chernikov, Tunerman and others form the extensive list of releases that have come to life with Alexander's support.
From that time, having sufficient experience in producing and releasing dance tracks, in 2005 Alexander founded his own label, iRecords (which means integratedRecords), with the policy of presenting fresh and promising dance music talents from Russia.
Currently, Alexander continues producing and touring as a DJ and live performer but still keeps an eye on dance music scene as iRecords A&R.
